it needs some tinkering but hey!!

Black dice is more of a soaking damage then it is a dodging. So I think Rancors can soak a good bit of hits.

R'kik looks pretty neat! I like the scavenger ability. It's thematic and useful!

Seems pretty balanced - he's got powerful surge abilities, but low range, damage, and mobility.

Not sure about the +1 surge though. His surge abilities are super strong, and he already rolls a lot of surges. Might be a bit overbearing. Though he is really slow, so maybe not. Maybe give him 4 HP and + 1 evade instead of the +1 surge, because he's slippery?

You are probably right. I used R2 as a template but with R'kik having green/yellow he's going to produce more surges than R2 so the guaranteed surge is likely too much. Changing that out for +1 <evade> is a great idea.

I'm still on the fence about Pierce 2. I do not want him to be a big damage dealer but he has to get damage to stick to use his surges. I'm wondering if dropping his dice to yellow/yellow and upping him to +2 accuracy might be a better idea.

I think Pierce 2 is probably fine; against normal defenses he'll only do 1-2 damage on average, and if he's spending a surge on the pierce it's one less surge he can spend on attacks. Even with the +1 Acc, he's pretty unreliable when it comes to Accuracy, so you can afford to give him a little more power on his attack I think.

Is it wrong that I want to give him a power that allows him to use Jundland Terror?

Haha that'd be funny. The "Desert Dweller" power or something.

Utinni!: R'kik D'nec can be the target of Jundland Terror .

Here, two versions of a figure for an expansion that will never exist. Still fun to imagine and come up with stuff.

For Reference : I have never played skirmish mode. I haven't been keeping up with FFG's changes to how some of the special abilities work. Based on the bit of campaign I've managed to get a group together for, this is my first rendition of how I would imagine this character playing out in either mode.

Okay, here's my attempt at a hero. I was thinking it'd be cool to have a martial artist who doesn't use weapons in the game, and I tried to make his abilities have a pretty clear offense/defense duality at most levels.

Jodo Kast v2

Time for a second attempt at this character. My first attempt was pretty boring and not thematic with the character. I think this version is a bit more thematic. Kast paraded around as Boba Fett, until Fett found out and put him down. So this version of Kast is good against little guys, but once the big players show up he can't do as much. He's a chump who can do work until he get's put in his place.

Jodo Kast
Mercenary
Hunter
Cost: 6

+Block | Mobile | ~Weaken | ~Pierce 1

→ Opportunistic: When attacking a figure with a figure cost of 5 or less, apply +~ to the attack results.

Imposter: At the start of each mission, choose one enemy group. Until that group deals damage to you, you may use that group's surge abilities.

Health: 9
Speed: 5
Defense: B
Attack: GB

Alternatively, the Imposter ability could read like this:

At the start of each mission, choose one enemy group. If you have suffered 3 or fewer damage, you may use that group's surge abilities.
